Jukebox Requiem
ANGIE, that last slow dance in smoky haze—
you slipped UNDER MY THUMB like twilight’s ache.
The Rolling Stones crooned fate through tangled days;
I tried to PAINT IT BLACK for mercy’s sake.
But YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT—truth stings—
just loaded TUMBLIN DICE in neon towns,
chasing HONKY TONK WOMEN on borrowed wings
while WILD HORSES dragged dreams to

The Sequin Queen
There is a girl known as twinkle toes
Who is dancing wherever she goes
She’s the sequin queen
Shines like a sunbeam
Such a shame the girl sports a hook-nose.

Who Wears the Glitzy Sequin Coat
I had never seen a glitzier, prettier pink sequin coat.
These were not ordinary sequins, they were elongated.
Reminded me of shiny sequin purses we saw in the sixties.
Who is wearing that coat? I wondered, trying to get a look.
Of course, it is my niece Charlene, nothing is too pretty for her.
She gave me her usual

Sequin Spiders
Ice on the trees

Artistry of the season
Mother Nature's finest
As if they're a beacon

It's fifteen degrees
Winter's frozen climate
Mother Nature's Decree
before a new horizon
Icicles on the eaves
Gleam just like Diamonds

Sequin and Baby Twitch
Sequin, the baby witch had a black kitty named Baby Twitch.
They were such a team, this adorable duo. Not a glitch.

Where Sequin and Baby Twitch were sitting on a pumpkin fine.
They grew up together, and loved

Dorothy Outfoxes Pucks and Picks
Pucks and Picks two skinflints
Quietly and disdainfully blacken sequins
With their dour, disastrous ways.
Dorothy, one sequin got away.
She was the shiny blue one.
She happily quit running after realizing
How slow they were
Pucks and Picks sent the hounds to fetch her
But their skin was soaked by the time they arrived
And Dorothy was lying in the sun, laughing
